“…7 Macroscopic and microscopic elements consistent with acute myocardial infarction without coronary abnormality have been found in several autopsy studies of patients with SCD. [28][29][30][31][32][33] Altered myocardial perfusion reserve has been demonstrated in these patients by different techniques. 34 Therefore, it can be assumed that during vaso-occlusive crises, acute myocardial ischaemia may appear due to the conjunction of anaemia, coronary microvascular obstruction, tachycardia, pain-related adrenergic stress and potentially oxidative-related endothelial damage during episodes of ischaemia-reperfusion.…”

“…21 Chronic recurrent vaso-occlusive episodes also subject cardiac myocytes to repeated ischemic insults even in the absence of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. 22,23 These ischemic episodes are a possible mechanism of valvular pathology in SCD due to the involvement of papillary muscles leading to secondary valvular insufficiency.…”

“…2 Monate alter kardiologischer Befund mit Echokardiographie vor, hier werden eine leicht-bis mittelgradig reduzierte linksventrikuläre sowie eine gute rechtsventrikuläre Pumpfunktion beschrieben, aufgrund der LV-Dilatation zeigt sich eine Mi-tralklappeninsuffizienz°II. Trotz einer ausgeprägten Anämie mit einem präoperativ gemessenen Hämoglobin(Hb)-Wert von 3 Verschlusses potenziell zu Myokardinfarkten kommen [5]. Bemerkenswert ist dabei, dass die SCD selbst auch ein Risikofaktor für das Entstehen einer Atherosklerose ist [6].…”

“…Aufgrund von Adaptation und der Tatsache, dass das krankhafte HbS eine geringere Sauerstoffaffinität als HbA hat, ist die Gewebeoxygenierung tatsächlich jedoch oft besser als erwartet. Dennoch kann es trotz Fehlens einer tatsächlichen arteriellen Stenose oder gar eines Verschlusses potenziell zu Myokardinfarkten kommen [ 5 ]. Bemerkenswert ist dabei, dass die SCD selbst auch ein Risikofaktor für das Entstehen einer Atherosklerose ist [ 6 ].…”
